Stop Thinking! Start Being!

For long I have wondered at nature’s miracle. How the actually cope with all this is a wonder, absolute miracle. Just imagine a life perennially on a median with sparse or no nourishment and exposed to the most harsh weather. Yet they live to the fullest. As I exclaimed: Just pure MAGIC.
I think you got a grip of what I am talking about. None other that the humble plants on the road side and medians. They may be cut, slaughtered, refused of love and what not yet they give only love in return.  I have always imagined a parallel universe where plants and animals rule over man. What goes around comes around.
We have ruled this planet for a long time and made a big mess of it. We are rather selfish when compared to the other animals and more benevolent plants. They keep giving so must love despite the cruelties we do to them.
If we wonder why all this a superficial answer would be man is just too smart. He is the fittest and he will survive. But is that true? Dig in deeper and the answer would be EGO. Might sound absurd at first but it is very true. Man has always assumed that he is the best in the whole of the world. Now he is slowly conquering the universe or so he thinks.
The universe is kind on us. Despite our acts of disrespect and spitefulness all it keeps giving is care and love. A joke I read few years ago is something I won’t ever forget. Few years down in the future man has become highly evolved and reached the pinnacle of technological development. At that time a scientist goes to God and challenges him that he is at par with God and can do anything that God can. God said “Create a new life form.” The scientist grinned and took sand in his hand to create new life. God smiled and said “Well I made the sand too!”
That joke made me feel humble and realize the presence of God. God not in sense of human form as in place of worship, but as an unfathomable power from above. We take the love from above for granted and give back nothing but hate
It is high time we realize our follies and return love back to God. Why send rockets to space to see where else we can live when the people back on earth have not even a roof to live under. Science is good but gone far too greedy. Lets be simple lets learn to love all that is on earth. From virus to whale love them all, for all of them participate in the huge cycle of life. All beings but man live naturally and love God the way God loves them. It is but man who has gone awry. But we can change if we want to. For God will forgive and forget. We might be smart and be able to do many things but the more we move away from the being the more we invite destruction. So stop thinking! Start Being!

All that does not make sense, Not any more now that I know, All that hours of prattle, In the most insane parties, Pretending like I care for all, Showing love to people, Who least deserve it. Why this mask? Why so much strain? I kept asking myself. The answer was evident, But too rigid to pack, Within this small pate of mine, Brain knew what the heart dreaded. We are all scared of being alone. If there is no one for me to love The world ceases to exists. Even worse if a love is lost, For the love transforms, Into this one kind of an fetish phantom. The kind which acts as a horrid gate keeper. I came to know love more divine, This love so pure so unerring, More ambrosia l than the love of God. Mother may love thee, But it is divided and ephemeral , Then what adulation is pristine? The love for self. For years we have been taught to love others, We have even imbibed the love for entit y, But we have forgotten the immutable. As long as my soul is alive

The beggar

Something that I saw today made my heart skip a beat and my blood boil at the same time. That moment I realized that I am indeed very lucky. Every one else who is reading this post is equally lucky. Not because I am talented writer (would love to be one in the future) but because all of you have access to internet and in some way can afford the same. What is this sight that affected me so much? Thinking of it even now gives me chills down my spine. I was in a restaurant having my evening snack (S, I do have the 4 th meal ;) ) that’s when I saw a man begging. I am very much against begging, especially if that person is physically fit. Mumbai as a city has a lot of beggars.  Most of them demand alms as if it were their birth right and my bondage to oblige. Many a time’s people are harassed at signals by beggars. I too have been a victim of that. This is one characteristic of the city that disgusts me. Coming back to our beggar of the day, he was in rags and very dirty. Of

I was on the way to my home from a temple with my dad in the car. I had nothing much to do and hence was tampering the music player. My dad was silent and didn't mind my child like naughty work with the player. On the way my father saw a coconut vendor and stopped the car to get some.I decided not to get down but thinking dad would need a hand I got down to help him. I was staring without a blink at the trade center in the opposite side.Not that I like it much just that I like to do that.As the saying goes in this life full of care there is no time to stand and stare. Lucky me I had that time. Well not for long. I heard a lady's voice call out "Sir!" Her voice transported me back to the present age.She had addressed to my father. "Yes!" said my father."Sir, I think that you are a Hindu."My dad did say anything he just nodded. Our religion was very obvious because of the kum-kum on our fore head."Sir! then you are among the unlucky!"Again
